Will we ever see the Miami Heat forward in the official NBA Slam Dunk Contest?

Not likely. In fact, according to ESPN.com, King James is getting slammed for his slams, so much so that he might discontinue his pregame routine.

"Maybe I should stop because it's making a lot of people mad about what I do," James said, according to the website, after he scored a season-high 40 points and had a career-high 16 assists in Tuesday's double-overtime win against the Sacramento Kings. "They're like, 'Well, if you can do it in warm-ups, why don't you (want to) be in the dunk contest?' Stop it.'"

Videos taken by Heat fans of James in the pregame layup line have gone viral on the Internet in recent days and with them have come the criticism.

The Heat have started to stream video of James' pregame dunks on the team's official website, and owner Micky Arison has used Twitter to encourage fans to arrive to games early if they want to see the show James puts on.

James said Tuesday he wasn't aware of how popular the routine has grown, because it's something he's always done. More Heat players have gotten involved, including Mario Chalmers, who has been James' stiffest showcase-dunk competition of late.

"I've been hearing about it," James said. "But I don't really watch TV or go on the Internet too much. As a team, it's kind of our new thing. I've had some good ones, but (Chalmers) doing a 360? That's impressive. We have a little epidemic right now. It's kind of like the Harlem Shake."
